See, even if you don’t think you “need” a prepaid card, they are a simple and easy way to get access to cash. Our clothing budget, for example, is $50 per month. Instead of paying cash (or putting this on a credit card), I can just use my prepaid card to buy clothing this month.

And it’s a great way to enforce limits on yourself, because when that card is depleted, it’s depleted – no more spending!

Within a few days of registering, you will see two small deposits (e.g. $.51) and one debit (the total of the two deposits together – eg. $1.02). You’ll get an email notifying you of these deposits, and then you’ll just need to follow the link in the email to confirm the amount of those deposits.
